Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

Cao Yanbing's parents?

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Longdou was stunned for a moment. Li Moxuan had not lied to him; Yan Ming and Xiao Xiao's souls were indeed in Cao Yanbing's Ten Kings of Hell.

“Xia Ling…”

Huangfu Longdou hesitated for a moment, but still spoke. Looking at the girl he had brought to Rakshasa Street, he was filled with emotion.

"If possible, could you please tell Cao Yanbing to apologize to Yan Ming and Xiao Xiao on my behalf..."

"You have no right to say that, Huangfu Longdou!!!"

A furious shout suddenly rang out. Huangfu Longdou had just turned his head when he was unexpectedly punched in the face, and blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.

Huangfu Longdou raised his head, a hint of apology in his eyes, "Gu Bai..."

"Shut up!"

Li Gubo forcefully interrupted him, his voice trembling with emotion, "Do you know how we've spent these past ten years?"

"If it weren't for you, the four of us wouldn't have been imprisoned in the Thousand Machine Black Temple for ten whole years, and Yan Ming and Xiao Xiao wouldn't have died!!!"

Chapter 261: Restless Moment

"Guber, I'm so sorry..."

Huangfu Longdou didn't expect Li Gubo's forgiveness. "If you want, you can kill me now..."

"It's not that easy!"

Li Gubo took a deep breath and calmed down. "Wait for Luo Fu and the other two to come back, then you can think of how to explain it to us!"

Of course, most importantly, how Huangfu Longdou is dealt with is not up to him...

"Let's go!"

Huo Jiu'an waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to escort Huangfu Longdou back towards the Zhenyu Tianyuan.

"Then you guys get back to work!"

Yuchi Lietang led the group of Spirit Masters on their way to Zhenyu Tianyuan, while Qin Wanggong led a squad of soldiers to "escort" Da Yutian in another direction.

After handing over the defense duties to Qin Wanggong and the others, Diao Lingyun led a group of soldiers toward Tianxi Mountain, accompanied by Xiang Kunlun and Liu Yuchan.

That night, after entertaining Huo Jiu'an and his party at the Treasure Pavilion, Mu Li followed the soldiers who were delivering food to the prisoners to the Prison Heaven Abyss, and this news quickly reached the Moon King's ears.

"The girl from Muli..."

The Moon King could more or less guess the reason for her arrival, but he did not say it outright.

"The soldiers can handle the food delivery; why did you have to come personally?"

Muli chuckled softly and stepped forward. "It's rare to have so many prisoners in Zhenyu Tianyuan. I wanted to see what their tastes are like, so I came here specifically to take a look..."

It must be said that she is not good at lying; this excuse is full of loopholes. However, I heard that Muli is one of the only two original shareholders of the Greedy Camp founded by Li Moxuan, so it wouldn't be good to prevent her from entering.

The Moon King decided to ask Yuan Xichen's opinion, so he made an excuse, "Please wait a moment, Miss Muli, the prisoners inside have not yet been settled..."

"That's troublesome!"

The Moon King turned and walked into the Prison Abyss. Not long after, he came out again and let Muli and the soldiers responsible for delivering food enter the Prison Abyss.

Upon entering the first level of the Prison Abyss, Mu Li saw that the surrounding cells were filled with Spirit Masters, most of whom were children and their parents.

Of course, there were also children locked alone in their cells, huddled in a corner, their loneliness reminding Muli of herself when she was once caged by Tanlang…

"I'll do it!"

Muli took the food box from the soldier, squatted down in front of the cell, and handed it inside, saying in as gentle a tone as possible, "Eat something! You can only survive if you're full!"

Seemingly sensing the aura of kinship emanating from Muli, the child slowly raised his head, crawled to the cell door, and took the lunchbox through the door.

"Sister...you're also a Spirit Master?"

"Yes, I am indeed a Spirit Master..."

"Then why weren't you locked up?"

"Because we are different..."

"How are we different? Aren't we... all compatriots?"

Muli was speechless for a moment. Faced with this innocent child in front of her, she had no idea how to answer his question.

In the end, all she could do was hurriedly leave with the words, "Have a good rest after you finish your meal!"

Soon, Muli arrived at the next cell, where a mother and daughter were imprisoned. As soon as she handed the lunchbox in, the mother grabbed her hand tightly.

"Please, spare my child! She's innocent, please!"

"Release Lord Muli at once!"

Seeing this, the two armored warriors beside her raised their spears, ready to thrust them at the mother. Mu Li hurriedly stopped them, saying, "You two step back! I can handle this..."

This……

The two armored warriors exchanged a glance, hesitated for a moment, and then took a step back, but still stood guard beside Mu Li, ready to make a move at any time.

"Let go!"

Seemingly understanding Muli's meaning, the mother let go of his hand, but her eyes were still full of hope, making Muli feel a little breathless.

Soon, the food on the first floor was finished, and the Spirit Masters here all reacted in the same way.

They all seemed to already know their fate, and just wanted to ask Muli to save their children.

Muli could only remain silent, unable to give them a definite answer...

Upon reaching the second floor, the prison conditions were even worse. The Spirit Masters were all held in solitary confinement, and the air was filled with an aura of death.

This time, it was Muli who was left in silence. Although they noticed Muli's identity as a spirit master, they didn't seem to know her status or position, so they didn't hold out much hope.

After delivering the meal, Muli returned to Youmengju, feeling even more depressed. Should she try to save her people, or let them fend for themselves?

Why don't we try pleading with Brother Moxuan when the time comes?

The situation in Muli is very complicated, while the three armies of Yuan Xichen, Li Laoyi and Yue Yunxuan, who arrived near Tianxi Mountain not long ago, have successfully joined forces.

"Floyd, are you sure you haven't found any traps?"

Yuan Xichen frowned as he looked at the figure of Freud that appeared in the spirit message. Was Ying Chengfeng really that arrogant?

"Yes, the four of us have thoroughly explored the forest near the foot of the mountain, and apart from some evil spirits and spirit beasts, we haven't found any traps!"

Floyd sat by the fire, reporting the situation, "Of course, we didn't explore towards Tianxi Mountain, so we can't rule out the possibility that he might have set some traps on the mountain..."

"It's alright, as long as the army can successfully encircle them!"

Li Laoyi, who was drinking tea at the table next to Yuan Xichen, waved his hand and said, "Even we might find it difficult to get involved then!"

"Besides Shui'er and Sun Zhantian, Diao Lingyun, Xiang Kunlun, and Liu Yuchan will also arrive tomorrow. Of course, there's also the Dragon Chess General that Mo Xuan invited from the Great Thousand Realms!"

"Of course, with your skills, Freud, you should be able to go up and show off your abilities too!"

Yue Yunxuan, standing to the side, stroked his chin. "Isn't there Bei Luo Shimen? I heard his guardian spirit can transform into the Monkey King, Sun Wukong!"

"Beiluoshimen's condition is not very stable..."

Yuan Xichen put down his teacup. "I asked him, and he doesn't know if Shi Lingming can become the Monkey King again..."

"And even if he successfully transformed into the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, Beiluo Shimen's physical condition would only allow him to last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!"

"Don't forget that Ying Chengfeng is an immortal being. Before Mo Xuan and Xi He can break his immortality, we're definitely going to have to fight a protracted battle!"

"So, instead of letting him go up there for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn and then lie down for a day, it's better to leave him at the foot of the mountain. He might play an unexpected role at a crucial moment!"

Unbeknownst to Yuan Xichen, some things within Tianxi Mountain had already sensed Shi Lingming's aura and were stirring restlessly...

Chapter 262: Divine Armor Guard

The next day, at Tianxi Mountain.

"Would Ying Chengfeng really be foolish enough to stay here and wait for us to surround him?"

Diao Lingyun, who had arrived not long ago, looked at the distant mountain peaks shrouded in mist and asked with some curiosity, "Shui'er, do you think Ying Chengfeng might have run away and we'll end up with nothing?"

"probably not……"

Bai Shui'er yawned, "Last night I had Nezha sense it, and there was indeed a powerful aura on the mountain. It should be Ying Chengfeng!"

The army has now divided into three groups to surround Tianxi Mountain. Xiang Kunlun and Liu Yuchan are with Yue Yunxuan, while Sun Zhantian, Freud, and Shen Jian are with Li Laoyi.

There were only the two of them on Yuan Xichen's side. Once the army had finished encircling them, they would advance inwards. After reaching the foot of the mountain, the few of them would go up to capture Ying Chengfeng.

Why won't you let me go up with Shui'er?

Bei Luoshimen was very dissatisfied with Yuan Xichen's arrangement. How could a father live in comfort while letting his daughter go on an adventure?

“Uncle Beiluo, even if Shi Lingming transforms into the Great Sage Equaling Heaven again, he can only maintain it for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. This time we are fighting a war of attrition. What are you doing going up there to join in the fun?”

Yuan Xichen explained earnestly, almost to the point of saying, "You are much weaker than Shui'er."

He glanced at Bai Shui'er not far away, thinking that if Bei Luoshimen continued to disobey, he would have to ask Bai Shui'er to subdue him...

Are you really sure this place has been completely cleaned up?

Nezha suddenly appeared beside Bai Shui'er, riding on his Wind Fire Wheels, arms crossed, staring intently into the forest.

"Something inside is watching us!"

Bai Shui'er also sensed being watched and guessed, "Could it be Ying Chengfeng's guardian spirit, Yinglong? Brother Moxuan said that Yinglong was trapped here..."

"It shouldn't be..."

Nezha closed his eyes, frowned, and said, "There are a lot of them, and they are all rapidly approaching us!"

At this moment, Shi Lingming suddenly appeared beside Bei Luoshimen, staring intently at the dense forest. "I have a feeling... that I'm not the one being targeted..."

"Shi Lingming, we've never been to Tianxi Mountain before, how could we possibly be targeting you?"

Beiluo Shimen was skeptical, but Shi Ling was absolutely certain, "Beiluo, from the moment we stepped into this area, my spiritual energy was already detected by them..."

"They are rapidly approaching this place, and their killing intent is growing stronger..."

"coming!"
